According to this post: "HowTo: Adapt Sailfish virtual keyboard (vkb) layout": HowTo: Add cursor (arrow) keys to your keyboard

https://together.jolla.com/question/21510/howto-adapt-sailfish-virtual-keyboard-vkb-layout/

It mentioned that how to add a cursor/arrow key for Jolla keyboard. It works like a charm in native apps, but it doesn't work in android apps. It is quite interesting that other functions of maliit-server work in android, like

  1. MinputMethodQuick.sendPreedit()
  2. MinputMethodQuick.sendCommit()

while MinputMethodQuick.sendKey() triggering cursor/arrow doesn't work.

I think this is a quite annoying issue for text editing.

Seems to be a duplicate of https://together.jolla.com/question/76499/support-for-left-and-right-keys-in-android-runtime/ ? (Edited the question title to include "arrow" for improved findability.)
